CHIPS Alliance

CHIPS Alliance is a Linux Foundation project (founded in 2019) that develops open-source hardware (silicon) and tools, including CPUs, SoC subsystems, peripherals, IP blocks, and FPGA tooling. The Alliance fosters collaboration among 50+ member organizations across industry (AMD, Antmicro, Google, Microsoft, SiFive, Intel, Nvidia, Cisco, Synopsys, Microchip, SanDisk and others) and academia (Berkeley, Stanford, MIT, and more) to lower the cost of hardware design, accelerate innovation in silicon, and provide an open and accessible alternative to proprietary EDA flows. CHIPS Alliance hosts more than a dozen technical projects including Chisel (Hardware Construction Language), F4PGA, Caliptra (Root of Trust), VeeR (RISC-V cores), Surelog/UHDM (SystemVerilog parsing), and the FPGA Interchange format. The Alliance does not publish a centralized REST API; technical assets are distributed via GitHub repositories under github.com/chipsalliance and member-driven mailing lists.
